Mission Statement

USIC has two unique missions: 1) To inspire people, especially older adults to volunteer regardless of age or abilities. 2) To share the stories of immigrant restaurateurs and their pursuit of the American Dream.

Description

USIC through our Volunteer Wisdom project will showcase inspirational volunteers in their 80's, 90's and beyond who share their stories of service to their communities. The volunteers will share their wisdom on the topic of volunteerism and how volunteering has contributed to their life satisfaction and longevity. This new project is set to launch later in 2024 as a You Tube channel. Our hope is to inspire others to become engaged in their own communities.

USIC through the Uncle Sam's Immigrant Café website shares the stories of immigrant restaurateurs in pursuit of their American Dream. In depth stories about the immigrants with commentary and photos of the food are included. Our hope is these stories celebrate American diversity... to show that despite our differences we are one country where everyone dreams of a better life.
